Abstract
ABSTRACT Appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) is the most common adult appendiceal malignant tumor, constituting 16% of gastrointestinal NENs. They are versatile tumors with varying morphology, immunohistochemistry, secretory properties, and cancer genomics. They are slow growing and clinically silent, to begin with, or present with features of nonspecific vague abdominal pain. Most acute presentations are attributed clinically to appendicitis, with most cases detected incidentally on pathology after an appendectomy. Approximately 40% of them present clinically with features of hormonal excess, which is likened to the functional secretory nature of their parent cell of origin. The symptoms of carcinoid syndrome render their presence clinically evident. However, slow growing and symptomatically silent in its initial stages, high-grade neuroendocrine tumors and neuroendocrine carcinomas of the appendix are aggressive and usually have hepatic and lymph node metastasis at presentation. This review article focuses on imaging characteristics, World Health Organization histopathological classification and grading, American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union or International Cancer Control, European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society staging, European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society standardized guidelines for reporting, data interpretation, early-stage management protocols, and advanced-stage appendiceal NENs. Guidelines are also set for the follow-up and reassessment. The role of targeted radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and high-dose somatostatin analogs in treating advanced disease are discussed, along with types of ablative therapies and liver transplantation for tumor recurrence. The search for newer location-specific biomarkers in NEN is also summarized. Regarding the varying aggressiveness of the tumor, there is a scope for research in the field, with plenty of data yet to be discovered.

ACS MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AU 2024; 4:247-259.

Abstract
Precision medicine is a new medical approach which considers both population characteristics and individual variability to provide customized healthcare. The transition from traditional reactive medicine to personalized medicine is based on a biomarker-driven process and a deep knowledge of biological mechanisms according to which the development of diseases occurs. In this context, the advancements in high-throughput omics technologies represent a unique opportunity to discover novel biomarkers and to provide an unbiased picture of the biological system. One of the medical fields in which omics science has started to be recently applied is that of ophthalmology. Ocular diseases are very common, and some of them could be highly disabling, thus leading to vision loss and blindness. The pathogenic mechanism of most ocular diseases may be dependent on various genetic and environmental factors, whose effect has not been yet completely understood. In this context, large-scale omics approaches are fundamental to have a comprehensive evaluation of the whole system and represent an essential tool for the development of novel therapies. This Review summarizes the recent advancements in omics science applied to ophthalmology in the last ten years, in particular by focusing on proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics applications from an analytical perspective. The role of high-efficiency separation techniques coupled to (high-resolution) mass spectrometry ((HR)MS) is also discussed, as well as the impact of sampling, sample preparation and data analysis as integrating parts of the analytical workflow.

Abstract
Molecular phenotypic variations in metabolites offer the promise of rapid profiling of physiological and pathological states for diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis. Since present methods are expensive, time-consuming, and still not sensitive enough, there is an urgent need for approaches that can interrogate complex biological fluids at a system-wide level. Here, we introduce hyperspectral surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to profile microliters of biofluidic metabolite extraction in 15 min with a spectral set, SERSome, that can be used to describe the structures and functions of various molecules produced in the biofluid at a specific time via SERS characteristics. The metabolite differences of various biofluids, including cell culture medium and human serum, are successfully profiled, showing a diagnosis accuracy of 80.8% on the internal test set and 73% on the external validation set for prostate cancer, discovering potential biomarkers, and predicting the tissue-level pathological aggressiveness. SERSomes offer a promising methodology for metabolic phenotyping.

Prospective association of the infant gut microbiome with social behaviors in the ECHO consortium. Mol Autism 2024; 15:21. [PMID: 38760865 PMCID: PMC11101342 DOI: 10.1186/s13229-024-00597-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying modifiable risk factors of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may inform interventions to reduce financial burden. The infant/toddler gut microbiome is one such feature that has been associated with social behaviors, but results vary between cohorts. We aimed to identify consistent overall and sex-specific associations between the early-life gut microbiome and autism-related behaviors. METHODS Utilizing the Environmental influences on Children Health Outcomes (ECHO) consortium of United States (U.S.) pediatric cohorts, we gathered data on 304 participants with fecal metagenomic sequencing between 6-weeks to 2-years postpartum (481 samples). ASD-related social development was assessed with the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2). Linear regression, PERMANOVA, and Microbiome Multivariable Association with Linear Models (MaAsLin2) were adjusted for sociodemographic factors. Stratified models estimated sex-specific effects. RESULTS Genes encoding pathways for synthesis of short-chain fatty acids were associated with higher SRS-2 scores, indicative of ASDs. Fecal concentrations of butyrate were also positively associated with ASD-related SRS-2 scores, some of which may be explained by formula use. LIMITATIONS The distribution of age at outcome assessment differed in the cohorts included, potentially limiting comparability between cohorts. Stool sample collection methods also differed between cohorts. Our study population reflects the general U.S. population, and thus includes few participants who met the criteria for being at high risk of developing ASD. CONCLUSIONS Our study is among the first multicenter studies in the U.S. to describe prospective microbiome development from infancy in relation to neurodevelopment associated with ASDs. Our work contributes to clarifying which microbial features associate with subsequent diagnosis of neuropsychiatric outcomes. This will allow for future interventional research targeting the microbiome to change neurodevelopmental trajectories.

Cross-Validation of Metabolic Phenotypes in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Subpopulations Using Targeted Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). J Proteome Res 2024; 23:1313-1327.

Abstract
To ensure biological validity in metabolic phenotyping, findings must be replicated in independent sample sets. Targeted workflows have long been heralded as ideal platforms for such validation due to their robust quantitative capability. We evaluated the capability of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) assays targeting organic acids and bile acids to validate metabolic phenotypes of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Two independent sample sets were collected: (1) Australia: plasma, SARS-CoV-2 positive (n = 20), noninfected healthy controls (n = 22) and COVID-19 disease-like symptoms but negative for SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 22). (2) Spain: serum, SARS-CoV-2 positive (n = 33) and noninfected healthy controls (n = 39). Multivariate modeling using orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analyses (OPLS-DA) classified healthy controls from SARS-CoV-2 positive (Australia; R2 = 0.17, ROC-AUC = 1; Spain R2 = 0.20, ROC-AUC = 1). Univariate analyses revealed 23 significantly different (p < 0.05) metabolites between healthy controls and SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals across both cohorts. Significant metabolites revealed consistent perturbations in cellular energy metabolism (pyruvic acid, and 2-oxoglutaric acid), oxidative stress (lactic acid, 2-hydroxybutyric acid), hypoxia (2-hydroxyglutaric acid, 5-aminolevulinic acid), liver activity (primary bile acids), and host-gut microbial cometabolism (hippuric acid, phenylpropionic acid, indole-3-propionic acid). These data support targeted LC-MS metabolic phenotyping workflows for biological validation in independent sample sets.

Abstract
The OMICs cascade describes the hierarchical flow of information through biological systems. The epigenome sits at the apex of the cascade, thereby regulating the RNA and protein expression of the human genome and governs cellular identity and function. Genes that regulate the epigenome, termed epigenes, orchestrate complex biological signaling programs that drive human development. The broad expression patterns of epigenes during human development mean that pathogenic germline mutations in epigenes can lead to clinically significant multi-system malformations, developmental delay, intellectual disabilities, and stem cell dysfunction. In this review, we refer to germline developmental disorders caused by epigene mutation as "chromatinopathies". We curated the largest number of human chromatinopathies to date and our expanded approach more than doubled the number of established chromatinopathies to 179 disorders caused by 148 epigenes. Our study revealed that 20.6% (148/720) of epigenes cause at least one chromatinopathy. In this review, we highlight key examples in which OMICs approaches have been applied to chromatinopathy patient biospecimens to identify underlying disease pathogenesis. The rapidly evolving OMICs technologies that couple molecular biology with high-throughput sequencing or proteomics allow us to dissect out the causal mechanisms driving temporal-, cellular-, and tissue-specific expression. Using the full repertoire of data generated by the OMICs cascade to study chromatinopathies will provide invaluable insight into the developmental impact of these epigenes and point toward future precision targets for these rare disorders.

Abstract
The treatment of PML/RARA+ acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with all-trans-retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide (ATRA/ATO) has been recognized as a model for translational medicine research. Though an altered microenvironment is a general cancer hallmark, how APL blasts shape their plasma composition is poorly understood. Here, we reported a cross-sectional correlation network to interpret multilayered datasets on clinical parameters, proteomes, and metabolomes of paired plasma samples from patients with APL before or after ATRA/ATO induction therapy. Our study revealed the two prominent features of the APL plasma, suggesting a possible involvement of APL blasts in modulating plasma composition. One was characterized by altered secretory protein and metabolite profiles correlating with heightened proliferation and energy consumption in APL blasts, and the other featured APL plasma-enriched proteins or enzymes catalyzing plasma-altered metabolites that were potential trans-regulatory targets of PML/RARA. Furthermore, results indicated heightened interferon-gamma signaling characterizing a tumor-suppressing function of the immune system at the first hematological complete remission stage, which likely resulted from therapy-induced cell death or senescence and ensuing supraphysiological levels of intracellular proteins. Overall, our work sheds new light on the pathophysiology and treatment of APL and provides an information-rich reference data cohort for the exploratory and translational study of leukemia microenvironment.

We investigated whether infant fecal metabolites were related to toddler social behavior. METHODS Stool samples collected from 6-week-olds (n = 86) and 1-year-olds (n = 209) in the New Hampshire Birth Cohort Study (NHBCS) were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolomics. Autism-related behavior in 3-year-olds was assessed by caregivers using the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS-2). To assess the association between metabolites and SRS-2 scores, we used a traditional single-metabolite approach, quantitative metabolite set enrichment (QEA), and self-organizing maps (SOMs). RESULTS Using a single-metabolite approach and QEA, no individual fecal metabolite or metabolite set at either age was associated with SRS-2 scores. Using the SOM method, fecal metabolites of six-week-olds organized into four profiles, which were unrelated to SRS-2 scores. In 1-year-olds, one of twelve fecal metabolite profiles was associated with fewer autism-related behaviors, with SRS-2 scores 3.4 (95%CI: -7, 0.2) points lower than the referent group. This profile had higher concentrations of lactate and lower concentrations of short chain fatty acids than the reference. CONCLUSIONS We uncovered metabolic profiles in infant stool associated with subsequent social behavior, highlighting one potential mechanism by which gut bacteria may influence neurobehavior. IMPACT Differences in host and microbial metabolism may explain variability in neurobehavioral phenotypes, but prior studies do not have consistent results. We applied three statistical techniques to explore fecal metabolite differences related to social behavior, including self-organizing maps (SOMs), a novel machine learning algorithm. A 1-year-old fecal metabolite pattern characterized by high lactate and low short-chain fatty acid concentrations, identified using SOMs, was associated with social behavior less indicative of autism spectrum disorder. Our findings suggest that social behavior may be related to metabolite profiles and that future studies may uncover novel findings by applying the SOM algorithm.

Implementation of pure shift 1 H NMR in metabolic phenotyping for structural information recovery of biofluid metabolites with complex spin systems. NMR IN BIOMEDICINE 2024; 37:e5060. [PMID: 37937465 DOI: 10.1002/nbm.5060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023]
Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is a mainstay of metabolic profiling approaches to investigation of physiological and pathological processes. The one-dimensional proton pulse sequences typically used in phenotyping large numbers of samples generate spectra that are rich in information but where metabolite identification is often compromised by peak overlap. Recently developed pure shift (PS) NMR spectroscopy, where all J-coupling multiplicities are removed from the spectra, has the potential to simplify the complex proton NMR spectra that arise from biosamples and hence to aid metabolite identification. Here we have evaluated two complementary approaches to spectral simplification: the HOBS (band-selective with real-time acquisition) and the PSYCHE (broadband with pseudo-2D interferogram acquisition) pulse sequences. We compare their relative sensitivities and robustness for deconvolving both urine and serum matrices. Both methods improve resolution of resonances ranging from doublets, triplets and quartets to more complex signals such as doublets of doublets and multiplets in highly overcrowded spectral regions. HOBS is the more sensitive method and takes less time to acquire in comparison with PSYCHE, but can introduce unavoidable artefacts from metabolites with strong couplings, whereas PSYCHE is more adaptable to these types of spin system, although at the expense of sensitivity. Both methods are robust and easy to implement. We also demonstrate that strong coupling artefacts contain latent connectivity information that can be used to enhance metabolite identification. Metabolite identification is a bottleneck in metabolic profiling studies. In the case of NMR, PS experiments can be included in metabolite identification workflows, providing additional capability for biomarker discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection of postoperative complications after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery is associated with improved outcomes. The aim was to investigate early metabolomics signatures capable to detect patients at risk for severe postoperative complications after CRC surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective cohort study of patients undergoing CRC surgery from 2015 to 2018. Plasma samples were collected before and after surgery, and analyzed by mass spectrometry obtaining 188 metabolites and 21 ratios. Postoperative complications were registered with Clavien-Dindo Classification and Comprehensive Complication Index. RESULTS One hundred forty-six patients were included. Surgery substantially modified metabolome and metabolic changes after surgery were quantitatively associated with the severity of postoperative complications. The strongest positive relationship with both Clavien-Dindo and Comprehensive Complication Index (β=4.09 and 63.05, P <0.001) corresponded to kynurenine/tryptophan, against an inverse relationship with lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs) and phosphatidylcholines (PCs). Patients with LPC18:2/PCa36:2 below the cut-off 0.084 µM/µM resulted in a sevenfold higher risk of major complications (OR=7.38, 95% CI: 2.82-21.25, P <0.001), while kynurenine/tryptophan above 0.067 µM/µM a ninefold (OR=9.35, 95% CI: 3.03-32.66, P <0.001). Hexadecanoylcarnitine below 0.093 µM displayed a 12-fold higher risk of anastomotic leakage-related complications (OR=11.99, 95% CI: 2.62-80.79, P =0.004). CONCLUSION Surgery-induced phospholipids and amino acid dysregulation is associated with the severity of postoperative complications after CRC surgery, including anastomotic leakage-related outcomes. The authors provide quantitative insight on metabolic markers, measuring vulnerability to postoperative morbidity that might help guide early decision-making and improve surgical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is large variation in response to diet in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and determinants for differential response are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate differential clinical and molecular responses to provocation with fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) and gluten in individuals with IBS. METHODS Data were used from a crossover study with week-long interventions with either FODMAPs, gluten or placebo. The study also included a rapid provocation test. Molecular data consisted of fecal microbiota, short chain fatty acids, and untargeted plasma metabolomics. IBS symptoms were evaluated with the IBS severity scoring system. IBS symptoms were modelled against molecular and baseline questionnaire data, using Random Forest (RF; regression and clustering), Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC), and univariate methods. RESULTS Regression and classification RF models were in general of low predictive power (Q2 ≤ 0.22, classification rate < 0.73). Out of 864 clustering models, only 2 had significant associations to clusters (0.69 < CR < 0.73, p < 0.05), but with no associations to baseline clinical measures. Similarly, PARAFAC revealed no clear association between metabolome data and IBS symptoms. CONCLUSION Differential IBS responses to FODMAPs or gluten exposures could not be explained from clinical and molecular data despite extensive exploration with different data analytical approaches. The trial is registered at www. CLINICALTRIALS gov as NCT03653689 31/08/2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various laboratory-developed metabolomic methods lead to big challenges in inter-laboratory comparability and effective integration of diverse datasets. RESULTS As part of the Quartet Project, we establish a publicly available suite of four metabolite reference materials derived from B lymphoblastoid cell lines from a family of parents and monozygotic twin daughters. We generate comprehensive LC-MS-based metabolomic data from the Quartet reference materials using targeted and untargeted strategies in different laboratories. The Quartet multi-sample-based signal-to-noise ratio enables objective assessment of the reliability of intra-batch and cross-batch metabolomics profiling in detecting intrinsic biological differences among the four groups of samples. Significant variations in the reliability of the metabolomics profiling are identified across laboratories. Importantly, ratio-based metabolomics profiling, by scaling the absolute values of a study sample relative to those of a common reference sample, enables cross-laboratory quantitative data integration. Thus, we construct the ratio-based high-confidence reference datasets between two reference samples, providing "ground truth" for inter-laboratory accuracy assessment, which enables objective evaluation of quantitative metabolomics profiling using various instruments and protocols. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides the community with rich resources and best practices for inter-laboratory proficiency tests and data integration, ensuring reliability of large-scale and longitudinal metabolomic studies.

Plasma Metabolites Associated with OCT Features of Age-Related Macular Degeneration. OPHTHALMOLOGY SCIENCE 2024; 4:100357.

Abstract
Purpose The most widely used classifications of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and its severity stages still rely on color fundus photographs (CFPs). However, AMD has a wide phenotypic variability that remains poorly understood and is better characterized by OCT. We and others have shown that patients with AMD have a distinct plasma metabolomic profile compared with controls. However, all studies to date have been performed solely based on CFP classifications. This study aimed to assess if plasma metabolomic profiles are associated with OCT features commonly seen in AMD. Design Prospectively designed, cross-sectional study. Participants Subjects with a diagnosis of AMD and a control group (> 50 years old) from Boston, United States, and Coimbra, Portugal. Methods All participants were imaged with CFP, used for AMD staging (Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 classification scheme), and with spectral domain OCT (Spectralis, Heidelberg). OCT images were graded by 2 independent graders for the presence of characteristic AMD features, according to a predefined protocol. Fasting blood samples were collected for metabolomic profiling (using nontargeted high-resolution mass spectrometry by Metabolon Inc). Analyses were conducted using logistic regression models including the worst eye of each patient (AREDS2 classification) and adjusting for confounding factors. Each cohort (United States and Portugal) was analyzed separately and then results were combined by meta-analyses. False discovery rate (FDR) was used to account for multiple comparisons. Main Outcome Measures Plasma metabolite levels associated with OCT features. Results We included data on 468 patients, 374 with AMD and 94 controls, and on 725 named endogenous metabolites. Meta-analysis identified significant associations (FDR < 0.05) between plasma metabolites and 3 OCT features: hyperreflective foci (6), atrophy (6), and ellipsoid zone disruption (3). Most associations were seen with amino acids, and all but 1 metabolite presented specific associations with the OCT features assessed. Conclusions To our knowledge, we show for the first time that plasma metabolites have associations with specific OCT features seen in AMD. Our results support that the wide spectrum of presentations of AMD likely include different pathophysiologic mechanisms by identifying specific pathways associated with each OCT feature.

Abstract
Amino compounds are widely present in complex mixtures in chemistry, biology, medicine, food, and environmental sciences involving drug impurities and metabolisms of proteins, biogenic amines, neurotransmitters, and pyrimidine in biological systems. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an excellent tool for simultaneously identifying and quantifying these in-mixture compounds but has a limit-of-detection (LOD) over several micromolarities (>5 μM). To break such a sensitivity barrier, we developed a sensitive and rapid method by combining the probe-induced sensitivity enhancement and nonuniform-sampling-based 1H-13C HSQC 2D-NMR (PRISE-NUS-HSQC). We introduced two 13CH3 tags for each analyte to respectively increase the 1H and 13C abundances for up to 6 and 200 fold. This enabled high-resolution detection of 0.4-0.8 μM analytes in mixtures in 5 mm tubes with a 5 min acquisition on 600 MHz spectrometers. The method is much more sensitive and faster than traditional 1H-13C HSQC methods (∼50 μM, >10 h). Using sulfanilic acid as a single reference, furthermore, we established a database covering chemical shifts and relative-response factors for >100 compounds, enabling reliable identification and quantification. The method showed good quantitation linearity, accuracy, precision, and applicability in multiple biological matrices, offering a rapid and sensitive approach for quantitative analysis of large cohorts of chemical, medicinal, metabolomic, food, and other mixtures.

Abstract
Globally, burns are a significant cause of injury that can cause substantial acute trauma as well as lead to increased incidence of chronic comorbidity and disease. To date, research has primarily focused on the systemic response to severe injury, with little in the literature reported on the impact of nonsevere injuries (<15% total burn surface area; TBSA). To elucidate the metabolic consequences of a nonsevere burn injury, longitudinal plasma was collected from adults (n = 35) who presented at hospital with a nonsevere burn injury at admission, and at 6 week follow up. A cross-sectional baseline sample was also collected from nonburn control participants (n = 14). Samples underwent multiplatform metabolic phenotyping using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to quantify 112 lipoprotein and glycoprotein signatures and 852 lipid species from across 20 subclasses. Multivariate data modeling (orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminate analysis; OPLS-DA) revealed alterations in lipoprotein and lipid metabolism when comparing the baseline control to hospital admission samples, with the phenotypic signature found to be sustained at follow up. Univariate (Mann-Whitney U) testing and OPLS-DA indicated specific increases in GlycB (p-value < 1.0e-4), low density lipoprotein-2 subfractions (variable importance in projection score; VIP > 6.83e-1) and monoacyglyceride (20:4) (p-value < 1.0e-4) and decreases in circulating anti-inflammatory high-density lipoprotein-4 subfractions (VIP > 7.75e-1), phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylglycerols, phosphatidylinositols, and phosphatidylserines. The results indicate a persistent systemic metabolic phenotype that occurs even in cases of a nonsevere burn injury. The phenotype is indicative of an acute inflammatory profile that continues to be sustained postinjury, suggesting an impact on systems health beyond the site of injury. The phenotypes contained metabolic signatures consistent with chronic inflammatory states reported to have an elevated incidence postburn injury. Such phenotypic signatures may provide patient stratification opportunities, to identify individual responses to injury, personalize intervention strategies, and improve acute care, reducing the risk of chronic comorbidity.

Abstract
Background In a 12-week randomised controlled trial, personalised nutrition delivered using a metabotype framework improved dietary intake, metabolic health parameters and the metabolomic profile compared to population-level dietary advice. The objective of the present work was to investigate the patterns of dietary advice delivered during the intervention and the alterations in dietary intake and metabolic and metabolomic profiles to obtain further insights into the effectiveness of the metabotype framework. Methods Forty-nine individuals were randomised into the intervention group and subsequently classified into metabotypes using four biomarkers (triacylglycerol, HDL-C, total cholesterol, glucose). These individuals received personalised dietary advice from decision tree algorithms containing metabotypes and individual characteristics. In a secondary analysis of the data, patterns of dietary advice were identified by clustering individuals according to the dietary messages received and clusters were compared for changes in dietary intake and metabolic health parameters. Correlations between changes in blood clinical chemistry and changes in metabolite levels were investigated. Results Two clusters of individuals with distinct patterns of dietary advice were identified. Cluster 1 had the highest percentage of messages delivered to increase the intake of beans and pulses and milk and dairy products. Cluster 2 had the highest percentage of messages delivered to limit the intake of foods high in added sugar, high-fat foods and alcohol. Following the intervention, both patterns improved dietary quality assessed by the Alternate Mediterranean Diet Score and the Alternative Healthy Eating Index, nutrient intakes, blood pressure, triacylglycerol and LDL-C (p ≤ 0.05). Several correlations were identified between changes in total cholesterol, LDL-C, triacylglycerol, insulin and HOMA-IR and changes in metabolites levels, including mostly lipids (sphingomyelins, lysophosphatidylcholines, glycerophosphocholines and fatty acid carnitines). Conclusion The findings indicate that the metabotype framework effectively personalises and delivers dietary advice to improve dietary quality and metabolic health. Clinical trial registration isrctn.com, identifier ISRCTN15305840.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease that mostly affects the axial skeleton. This study aimed to investigate reliable diagnostic serum biomarkers for AS. Serum samples were collected from 20 AS patients and 20 healthy controls (HCs) and analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The differential metabolites between the AS patients and HCs were profiled using univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. Pathway analysis and a heat map were also conducted. Random forest (RF) analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used to establish predictive and diagnostic models. After controlling the variable importance in the projection (VIP) value > 1 and false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05, a total of 61 differential metabolites were identified from 995 metabolites, which exhibited significant differences in the pathway analysis and heat map between the AS patients and HCs. RF as a predictive model also identified differential metabolites with 95% predictive accuracy and a high area under the curve (AUC) of 1. A diagnostic model comprising nine metabolites (cysteinylglycine disulfide, choline, N6, N6, N6-trimethyllysine, histidine, sphingosine, fibrinopeptide A, glycerol 3-phosphate, 1-linoleoyl-GPA (18:2), and fibrinopeptide A (3-16)) was generated using LASSO regression, capable of distinguishing HCs from AS with a high AUC of 1. Our results indicated that the UPLC-MS/MS analysis method is a powerful tool for identifying AS metabolite profiles. We developed a nine-metabolites-based model serving as a diagnostic tool to separate AS patients from HCs, and the identified diagnostic biomarkers appeared to have a diagnostic value for AS.

Higher Plasma Creatinine Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Death in Patients with Non-Metastatic Rectal but Not Colon Cancer: Results from an International Cohort Consortium. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3391. [PMID: 37444500 PMCID: PMC10340258 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15133391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous disease. No studies have prospectively examined associations of blood metabolite concentrations with all-cause mortality in patients with colon and rectal cancer separately. Targeted metabolomics (Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ p180) and pathway analyses (MetaboAnalyst 4.0) were performed on pre-surgery collected plasma from 674 patients with non-metastasized (stage I-III) colon (n = 394) or rectal cancer (n = 283). Metabolomics data and covariate information were received from the international cohort consortium MetaboCCC. Cox proportional hazards models were computed to investigate associations of 148 metabolite levels with all-cause mortality adjusted for age, sex, tumor stage, tumor site (whenever applicable), and cohort; the false discovery rate (FDR) was used to account for multiple testing. A total of 93 patients (14%) were deceased after an average follow-up time of 4.4 years (60 patients with colon cancer and 33 patients with rectal cancer). After FDR adjustment, higher plasma creatinine was associated with a 39% increase in all-cause mortality in patients with rectal cancer. HR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.23-1.72, pFDR = 0.03; but not colon cancer: pFDR = 0.96. Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine phosphate in muscle and may reflect changes in skeletal muscle mass. The starch and sucrose metabolisms were associated with increased all-cause mortality in colon cancer but not in rectal cancer. Genes in the starch and sucrose metabolism pathways were previously linked to worse clinical outcomes in CRC. In summary, our findings support the hypothesis that colon and rectal cancer have different etiological and clinical outcomes that need to be considered for targeted treatments.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, sequencing-based methods have revolutionised our understanding of niche-specific microbial complexity. In the lower female reproductive tract, these approaches have enabled identification of bacterial compositional structures associated with health and disease. Application of metagenomics and metatranscriptomics strategies have provided insight into the putative function of these communities but it is increasingly clear that direct measures of microbial and host cell function are required to understand the contribution of microbe-host interactions to pathophysiology. Here we explore and discuss current methods and approaches, many of which rely upon mass-spectrometry, being used to capture functional insight into the vaginal mucosal interface. In addition to improving mechanistic understanding, these methods offer innovative solutions for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies designed to improve women's health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabotyping is a novel concept to group metabolically similar individuals. Different metabotypes may respond differently to dietary interventions; hence, metabotyping may become an important future tool in precision nutrition strategies. However, it is not known if metabotyping based on comprehensive omic data provides more useful identification of metabotypes compared to metabotyping based on only a few clinically relevant metabolites. AIM This study aimed to investigate if associations between habitual dietary intake and glucose tolerance depend on metabotypes identified from standard clinical variables or comprehensive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics. METHODS We used cross-sectional data from participants recruited through advertisements aimed at people at risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 203). Glucose tolerance was assessed with a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and habitual dietary intake was recorded with a food frequency questionnaire. Lipoprotein subclasses and various metabolites were quantified with NMR spectroscopy, and plasma carotenoids were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography. We divided participants into favorable and unfavorable clinical metabotypes based on established cutoffs for HbA1c and fasting and 2-h OGTT glucose. Favorable and unfavorable NMR metabotypes were created using k-means clustering of NMR metabolites. RESULTS While the clinical metabotypes were separated by glycemic variables, the NMR metabotypes were mainly separated by variables related to lipoproteins. A high intake of vegetables was associated with a better glucose tolerance in the unfavorable, but not the favorable clinical metabotype (interaction, p = 0.01). This interaction was confirmed using plasma concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin, objective biomarkers of vegetable intake. Although non-significantly, the association between glucose tolerance and fiber intake depended on the clinical metabotypes, while the association between glucose tolerance and intake of saturated fatty acids and dietary fat sources depended on the NMR metabotypes. CONCLUSION Metabotyping may be a useful tool to tailor dietary interventions that will benefit specific groups of individuals. The variables that are used to create metabotypes will affect the association between dietary intake and disease risk.

Metabolomics: A New Era in the Diagnosis or Prognosis of B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13050861. [PMID: 36900005 PMCID: PMC10000528 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13050861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
A wide range of histological as well as clinical properties are exhibited by B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. These properties could make the diagnostics process complicated. The diagnosis of lymphomas at an initial stage is essential because early remedial actions taken against destructive subtypes are commonly deliberated as successful and restorative. Therefore, better protective action is needed to improve the condition of those patients who are extensively affected by cancer when diagnosed for the first time. The development of new and efficient methods for early detection of cancer has become crucial nowadays. Biomarkers are urgently needed for diagnosing B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and assessing the severity of the disease and its prognosis. New possibilities are now open for diagnosing cancer with the help of metabolomics. The study of all the metabolites synthesised in the human body is called "metabolomics." A patient's phenotype is directly linked with metabolomics, which can help in providing some clinically beneficial biomarkers and is applied in the diagnostics of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In cancer research, it can analyse the cancerous metabolome to identify the metabolic biomarkers. This review provides an understanding of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma metabolism and its applications in medical diagnostics. A description of the workflow based on metabolomics is also provided, along with the benefits and drawbacks of various techniques. The use of predictive metabolic biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is also explored. Thus, we can say that abnormalities related to metabolic processes can occur in a vast range of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The metabolic biomarkers could only be discovered and identified as innovative therapeutic objects if we explored and researched them. In the near future, the innovations involving metabolomics could prove fruitful for predicting outcomes and bringing out novel remedial approaches.

Abstract
The diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DOSY) experiment allows the calculation of diffusion coefficient values of metabolites in complex mixtures. However, this experiment has not yet been broadly used for metabolic profiling due to lack of a standardized protocol. Here we propose a pipeline for the DOSY experimental setup and data processing in metabolic phenotyping studies. Due to the complexity of biological samples, three experiments (a standard DOSY, a relaxation-edited DOSY, and a diffusion-edited DOSY) have been optimized to provide DOSY metabolic profiles with peak-picked diffusion coefficients for over 90% of signals visible in the one-dimensional 1H general biofluid profile in as little as 3 min 36 s. The developed parameter sets and tools are straightforward to implement and can facilitate the use of DOSY for metabolic profiling of human blood plasma and urine samples.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review body condition scoring and the role of body fat reserves in relation to insulin sensitivity and metabolic phenotyping. This article summarizes body condition scoring assessment methods and the differences between subcutaneous and visceral fat depots in dairy cows. The mass of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (AT) changes significantly during the transition period; however, metabolism and intensity of lipolysis differ between subcutaneous and visceral AT depots of dairy cows. The majority of studies on AT have focused on subcutaneous AT, and few have explored visceral AT using noninvasive methods. In this systematic review, we summarize the relationship between body fat reserves and insulin sensitivity and integrate omics research (e.g., metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics) for metabolic phenotyping of cows, particularly overconditioned cows. Several studies have shown that AT insulin resistance develops during the prepartum period, especially in overconditioned cows. We discuss the role of AT lipolysis, fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial function, acylcarnitines, and lipid insulin antagonists, including ceramide and glycerophospholipids, in cows with different body condition scoring. Nonoptimal body conditions (under- or overconditioned cows) exhibit marked abnormalities in metabolic and endocrine function. Overall, reducing the number of cows with nonoptimal body conditions in herds seems to be the most practical solution to improve profitability, and dairy farmers should adjust their management practices accordingly.

Abstract
Introduction: In vitro metabolic fingerprinting encodes diverse diseases for clinical practice, while tedious sample pretreatment in bio-samples has largely hindered its universal application. Designed materials are highly demanded to construct diagnostic tools for high-throughput metabolic information extraction. Results: Herein, a ternary component chip composed of mesoporous silica substrate, plasmonic matrix, and perfluoroalkyl initiator is constructed for direct metabolic fingerprinting of biofluids by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Method: The performance of the designed chip is optimized in terms of silica pore size, gold sputtering time, and initiator loading parameter. The optimized chip can be coupled with microarrays to realize fast, high-throughput (∼second/sample), and microscaled (∼1 μL) sample analysis in human urine without any enrichment or purification. On-chip urine fingerprints further allow for differentiation between kidney stone patients and healthy controls. Discussion: Given the fast, high throughput, and easy operation, our approach brings a new dimension to designing nano-material-based chips for high-performance metabolic analysis and large-scale diagnostic use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Global or untargeted metabolomics is widely used to comprehensively investigate metabolic profiles under various pathophysiological conditions such as inflammations, infections, responses to exposures or interactions with microbial communities. However, biological interpretation of global metabolomics data remains a daunting task. Recent years have seen growing applications of pathway enrichment analysis based on putative annotations of liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) peaks for functional interpretation of LC-MS-based global metabolomics data. However, due to intricate peak-metabolite and metabolite-pathway relationships, considerable variations are observed among results obtained using different approaches. There is an urgent need to benchmark these approaches to inform the best practices. RESULTS We have conducted a benchmark study of common peak annotation approaches and pathway enrichment methods in current metabolomics studies. Representative approaches, including three peak annotation methods and four enrichment methods, were selected and benchmarked under different scenarios. Based on the results, we have provided a set of recommendations regarding peak annotation, ranking metrics and feature selection. The overall better performance was obtained for the mummichog approach. We have observed that a ~30% annotation rate is sufficient to achieve high recall (~90% based on mummichog), and using semi-annotated data improves functional interpretation. Based on the current platforms and enrichment methods, we further propose an identifiability index to indicate the possibility of a pathway being reliably identified. Finally, we evaluated all methods using 11 COVID-19 and 8 inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) global metabolomics datasets.

Abstract
Even though the application of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has significantly facilitated the identification of disease-associated mutations, the diagnostic rate of rare diseases is still below 50%. This causes a diagnostic odyssey and prevents specific treatment, as well as genetic counseling for further family planning. Increasing the diagnostic rate and reducing the time to diagnosis in children with unclear disease are crucial for a better patient outcome and improvement of quality of life. In many cases, NGS reveals variants of unknown significance (VUS) that need further investigations. The delineation of novel (lipid) biomarkers is not only crucial to prove the pathogenicity of VUS, but provides surrogate parameters for the monitoring of disease progression and therapeutic interventions. Lipids are essential organic compounds in living organisms, serving as building blocks for cellular membranes, energy storage and signaling molecules. Among other disorders, an imbalance in lipid homeostasis can lead to chronic inflammation, vascular dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, analyzing lipids in biological samples provides great insight into the underlying functional role of lipids in healthy and disease statuses. The method of choice for lipid analysis and/or huge assemblies of lipids (=lipidome) is mass spectrometry due to its high sensitivity and specificity. Due to the inherent chemical complexity of the lipidome and the consequent challenges associated with analyzing it, progress in the field of lipidomics has lagged behind other omics disciplines. However, compared to the previous decade, the output of publications on lipidomics has increased more than 17-fold within the last decade and has, therefore, become one of the fastest-growing research fields. Combining multiple omics approaches will provide a unique and efficient tool for determining pathogenicity of VUS at the functional level, and thereby identifying rare, as well as novel, genetic disorders by molecular techniques and biochemical analyses.

Abstract
Background Diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms and screening methods. Only less than 10% of PDAC patients are candidates for surgery at the time of diagnosis. Thus, there is a great global unmet need for valuable biomarkers that could improve the opportunity to detect PDAC at the resectable stage. This study aimed to develop a potential biomarker model for the detection of resectable PDAC by tissue and serum metabolomics. Methods Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) was performed for metabolome quantification in 98 serum samples (49 PDAC patients and 49 healthy controls (HCs)) and 20 pairs of matched pancreatic cancer tissues (PCTs) and adjacent noncancerous tissues (ANTs) from PDAC patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to profile the differential metabolites between PDAC and HC. Results A total of 12 differential metabolites were present in both serum and tissue samples of PDAC. Among them, a total of eight differential metabolites showed the same expressional levels, including four upregulated and four downregulated metabolites. Finally, a panel of three metabolites including 16-hydroxypalmitic acid, phenylalanine, and norleucine was constructed by logistic regression analysis. Notably, the panel was capable of distinguishing resectable PDAC from HC with an AUC value of 0.942. Additionally, a multimarker model based on the 3-metabolites-based panel and CA19-9 showed a better performance than the metabolites panel or CA19-9 alone (AUC: 0.968 vs. 0.942, 0.850). Conclusions Taken together, the resectable early-stage PDAC has unique metabolic features in serum and tissue samples. The defined panel of three metabolites has the potential value for early screening of PDAC at the resectable stage.

Abstract
Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) plays a critical role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Inhibition of YAP1 expression suppresses HCC progression, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we studied the effects and molecular mechanisms of YAP1 knockdown on the growth and metabolism in human HCC HepG2215 cells. Inhibition of YAP1 expression inhibits the proliferation and metastasis in HepG2215 cells, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and metabolites were identified in shYAP1-HepG2215 cells. Further, 805 DEGs, mainly associated with metabolism and particularly lipid metabolism, were identified by transcriptome sequencing analyses in shYAP1-HepG2215 cells. YAP1 knockdown increased albumin (ALB) levels by Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses in HepG2215 cells. Metabolomic profiling identified 37 metabolites with significant differences in the shYAP1 group, and amino acid metabolism generally decreased in the shYAP1 group. Comprehensive analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics revealed that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters play a central role after YAP1 knockdown in HepG2215 cells. Therefore, YAP1 knockdown inhibited HCC growth, which affected the metabolism of lipids and amino acids by regulating the expression of ALB and ABC transporters in HepG2215 cells.

Abstract
Objective. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton. Early and accurate diagnosis is necessary for the timely and effective treatment of this disease and its common complications. Lipid metabolites form various kinds of bioactive molecules that regulate the initiation and progression of inflammation. However, there are currently few studies that investigate the alteration of serum lipid in AS patients. Methods. Blood samples were collected from 115 AS patients and 108 healthy controls (HCs). Serum-untargeted lipidomics were performed using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive spectrometry, and the data were determined by multivariate statistical methods to explore potential lipid biomarkers. Results. Lipid phenotypes associated with disease activity were detected in the serum of patients with AS. Of all 586 identified lipids, there are 297 differential lipid metabolites between the AS and HC groups, of which 15 lipid metabolites are significant. In the AS groups, the levels of triacylglycerol (TAG) (18:0/18:1/20:0) were increased, and the levels of phosphatidylcholine (PC) (16:0e/26:4) and PC (18:1/22:6) were decreased. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of TAG (18:0/18:1/20:0), PC (16:0e/26:4), and PC (18:1/22:6) were 0.919, 0.843, and 0.907, respectively. Conclusion. Our findings uncovered that lipid deregulation is a crucial hallmark of AS, thereby providing new insights into the early diagnosis of AS.

Savva KV, Das B, Antonowicz S, Hanna GB, Peters CJ. Progress with Metabolomic Blood Tests for Gastrointestinal Cancer Diagnosis-An Assessment of Biomarker Translation. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2022; 31:2095-2105. [PMID: 36215181 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-22-0307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
There is an urgent need for cost-effective, non-invasive tools to detect early stages of gastrointestinal cancer (colorectal, gastric, and esophageal cancers). Despite many publications suggesting circulating metabolites acting as accurate cancer biomarkers, few have reached the clinic. In upper gastrointestinal cancer this is critically important, as there is no test to complement gold-standard endoscopic evaluation in patients with mild symptoms that do not meet referral criteria. Therefore, this study aimed to describe and solve this translational gap. Studies reporting diagnostic accuracy of metabolomic blood-based gastrointestinal cancer biomarkers from 2007 to 2020 were systematically reviewed and progress of each biomarker along the discovery-validation-adoption pathway was mapped. Successful biomarker translation was defined as a composite endpoint, including patent protection/FDA approval/recommendation in national guidelines. The review found 77 biomarker panels of gastrointestinal cancer, including 25 with an AUROC >0.9. All but one was stalled at the discovery phase, 9.09% were patented and none were clinically approved, confirming the extent of biomarker translational gap. In addition, there were numerous "re-discoveries," including histidine, discovered in 7 colorectal studies. Finally, this study quantitatively supports the presence of a translational gap between discovery and clinical adoption, despite clear evidence of highly performing biomarkers with significant potential clinical value.

Abstract
CONTEXT The traditional Chinese medicine formula Tao-Hong-Si-Wu decoction (TSD), used for treating ischaemic stroke, has the potential to treat depressive disorder (DD). OBJECTIVE To explore the effective targets of TSD on DD animal models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were modelled by inducing chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) during 35 days and treated with three dosages of TSD (2.5, 5 and 10 g/kg) or fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) by oral gavage for 14 days. Bodyweight measurements and behavioural tests were performed to observe the effect of TSD on the CUMS animals. A gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomic analysis was conducted to reveal the metabolic characteristics related to the curative effect of TSD. Levels of the proteins associated with the feature metabolites were analysed. RESULTS Reduced immobile duration and crossed squares in the behavioural tests were raised by 48.6% and 32.9%, on average, respectively, by TSD treatment (ED50=3.2 g/kg). Antidepressant effects of TSD were associated with 13 decreased metabolites and the restorations of ornithine and urea in the serum. TSD (5 g/kg) raised serum serotonin by 54.1 mg/dL but suppressed arginase I (Arg I) by 47.8 mg/dL in the CUMS rats. Proteins on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) axis that modulate the inhibition of Arg I were suppressed in the CUMS rats but reversed by the TSD intervention. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS TSD improves depression-like symptoms in CUMS rats. Further study will focus on the antidepressant-like effects of effective compounds contained in TSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains incompletely understood and increases the risk of developing Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). Metabolomics provides insights etiology and pathogenesis of disease and discovery biomarkers for accurate detection. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key platform defining metabolic signatures in intact serum/plasma. In the present study, we used NMR-based analysis of macromolecules free-serum to accurately characterize the altered metabolic pathways of GDM and assessing their similarities to DM2. Our findings could contribute to the understanding of the pathophysiology of GDM and help in the identification of metabolomic markers of the disease. METHODS Sixty-two women with GDM matched with seventy-seven women without GDM (control group). 1H NMR serum spectra were acquired on an 11.7 T Bruker Avance DRX NMR spectrometer. RESULTS We identified 55 metabolites in both groups, 25 of which were significantly altered in the GDM group. GDM group showed elevated levels of ketone bodies, 2-hydroxybutyrate and of some metabolic intermediates of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and significantly lower levels of metabolites of one-carbon metabolism, energy production, purine metabolism, certain amino acids, 3-methyl-2-oxovalerate, ornithine, 2-aminobutyrate, taurine and trimethylamine N-oxide. CONCLUSION Metabolic pathways affected in GDM were beta-oxidation, ketone bodies metabolism, one-carbon metabolism, arginine and ornithine metabolism likewise in DM2, whereas BCAAs catabolism and aromatic amino acids metabolism were affected, but otherwise than in DM2.

Abstract
As the global population becomes older, understanding the impact of aging on health and disease becomes paramount. Recent advancements in multiomic technology have allowed for the high-throughput molecular characterization of aging at the population level. Metabolomics studies that analyze the small molecules in the body can provide biological information across a diversity of aging processes. Here, we review the growing body of population-scale metabolomics research on aging in humans, identifying the major trends in the field, implicated biological pathways, and how these pathways relate to health and aging. We conclude by assessing the main challenges in the research to date, opportunities for advancing the field, and the outlook for precision health applications.

Abstract
The large bowel of monogastric animals, such as that of humans, is home to a microbial community (microbiota) composed of a diversity of mostly bacterial species. Interrelationships between the microbiota as an entity and the host are complex and lifelong and are characteristic of a symbiosis. The relationships may be disrupted in association with disease, resulting in dysbiosis. Modifications to the microbiota to correct dysbiosis require knowledge of the fundamental mechanisms by which symbionts inhabit the gut. This review aims to summarize aspects of niche fitness of bacterial species that inhabit the monogastric gut, especially of humans, and to indicate the research path by which progress can be made in exploring bacterial attributes that underpin symbiont life in the gut.

Abstract
The metabolic responses of organism to external stimuli are characterized by the multicellular- and multiorgan-based synergistic regulation. Network analysis is a powerful tool to investigate this multiscale interaction. The imaging mass spectrometry (iMS)-based spatial omics provides multidimensional and multiscale information, thus offering the possibility of network analysis to investigate metabolic response of organism to environmental stimuli. We present iMS dataset-sourced multiscale network (iMS2Net) strategy to uncover prenatal environmental pollutant (PM2.5)-induced metabolic responses in the scales of cell and organ from metabolite abundances and metabolite-metabolite interaction using mouse fetal model, including metabotypic similarity, metabolic vulnerability, metabolic co-variability and metabolic diversity within and between organs. Furthermore, network-based analysis results confirm close associations between lipid metabolites and inflammatory cytokine release. This networking methodology elicits particular advantages for modeling the dynamic and adaptive processes of organism under environmental stresses or pathophysiology and provides molecular mechanism to guide the occurrence and development of systemic diseases.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the potential diagnostic biomarkers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by machine learning (ML) and to explore the significance of immune cell infiltration in HCC. From GEO datasets, the microarray datasets of HCC patients were obtained and downloaded. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened from five datasets of GSE57957, GSE84402, GSE112790, GSE113996, and GSE121248, totalling 125 normal liver tissues and 326 HCC tissues. In order to find the diagnostic indicators of HCC, the LASSO regression and the SVM-RFE algorithms were utilized. The prognostic value of VIPR1 was analyzed. Finally, the difference of immune cell infiltration between HCC tissues and normal liver tissues was evaluated by CIBERSORT algorithm. In this study, a total of 232 DEGs were identified in 125 normal liver tissues and 326 HCC tissues. 11 diagnostic markers were identified by LASSO regression and SVM-RFE algorithms. FCN2, ECM1, VIRP1, IGFALS, and ASPG genes with AUC>0.85 were regarded as candidate biomarkers with high diagnostic value, and the above results were verified in GSE36376. Survival analyses showed that VIPR1 and IGFALS were significantly correlated with the OS, while ASPG, ECM1, and FCN2 had no statistical significance with the OS. Multivariate assays indicated that VIPR1 gene could be used as an independent prognostic factor for HCC, while FCN2, ECM1, IGFALS, and ASPG could not be used as independent prognostic factors for HCC. Immune cell infiltration analyses showed that the expression of VIPR1 in HCC was positively correlated with the levels of several immune cells. Overall, VIPR1 gene can be used as a diagnostic feature marker of HCC and may be a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer in the future.

Abstract
Nutrigenomics unfolds the link between nutrition and gene expression for productivity.expression profile of intramuscular. Nutrigenomics helps scientists discover genes and DNA in each animal's cell or tissue by assisting them in selecting nutrients. It brings out the importance of micronutrition for increasing animal production. Nutrigenomics integrates nutrition, molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular medicine, and epidemiology.
Noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and cancer now outnumber all other health ailments in humans globally due to abrupt changes in lifestyle following the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution has also intensified livestock farming, resulting in an increased demand for productivity and stressed animals. The livestock industry faces significant challenges from a projected sharp increase in global food and high animal protein demand. Nutrition genomics holds great promise for the future as its advances have opened up a whole new world of disease understanding and prevention. Nutrigenomics is the study of the interactions between genes and diet. It investigates molecular relationships between nutrients and genes to identify how even minor modifications could potentially alter animal and human health/performance by using techniques like proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. Dietary modifications mostly studied in livestock focus mainly on health and production traits through protein, fat, mineral, and vitamin supplementation changes. Nutrigenomics meticulously selects nutrients for fine-tuning the expression of genes that match animal/human genotypes for better health, productivity, and the environment. As a step forward, nutrigenomics integrates nutrition, molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular medicine, and epidemiology to better understand the role of food as an epigenetic factor in the occurrence of these diseases. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts, latest advances, and studies in the field of nutrigenomics, emphasizing the interaction of diet with gene expression, and how it relates to human and animal health along with its human-animal interphase.

Abstract
One of the most recognisable features of ageing is a decline in brain health and cognitive dysfunction, which is associated with perturbations to regular lipid homeostasis. Although ageing is the largest risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, a loss in cognitive function is commonly observed in adults over the age of 65. Despite the prevalence of normal age-related cognitive decline, there is a lack of effective methods to improve the health of the ageing brain. In light of this, exercise has shown promise for positively influencing neurocognitive health and associated lipid profiles. This review summarises age-related changes in several lipid classes that are found in the brain, including fatty acyls, glycerolipids, phospholipids, sphingolipids and sterols, and explores the consequences of age-associated pathological cognitive decline on these lipid classes. Evidence of the positive effects of exercise on the affected lipid profiles are also discussed to highlight the potential for exercise to be used therapeutically to mitigate age-related changes to lipid metabolism and prevent cognitive decline in later life.

Abstract
The rise of omics technologies that simultaneously measure thousands of molecules in a complex biological sample represents the core of systems biology. These technologies have profoundly impacted biomarkers and therapeutic targets discovery in the precision medicine era. Systems biology aims to perform a systematic probing of complex interactions in biological systems. Powered by high-throughput omics technologies and high-performance computing, systems biology provides relevant, resolving, and multi-scale overviews from cells to populations. Precision medicine takes advantage of these conceptual and technological developments and is based on two main pillars: the generation of multimodal data and their subsequent modeling. High-throughput omics technologies enable the comprehensive and holistic extraction of biological information, while computational capabilities enable multidimensional modeling and, as a result, offer an intuitive and intelligible visualization. Despite their promise, translating these technologies into clinically actionable tools has been slow. In this contribution, we present the most recent multi-omics data generation and analysis strategies and their clinical deployment in the post-genomic era. Furthermore, medical application challenges of omics-based biomarkers are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-reported meat consumption is associated with disease risk but objective assessment of different dimensions of this heterogeneous dietary exposure in observational and interventional studies remains challenging. OBJECTIVES We aimed to derive and validate scores based on plasma metabolites for types of meat consumption. For the most predictive score, we aimed to test whether the included metabolites varied with change in meat consumption, and whether the score was associated with incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and other noncommunicable diseases. METHODS We derived scores based on 781 plasma metabolites for red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption assessed with 7-d food records among 11,432 participants in the EPIC-Norfolk (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Norfolk) cohort. The scores were then tested for internal validity in an independent subset (n = 853) of the same cohort. In focused analysis on the red meat metabolite score, we examined whether the metabolites constituting the score were also associated with meat intake in a randomized crossover dietary intervention trial of meat (n = 12, Lyon, France). In the EPIC-Norfolk study, we assessed the association of the red meat metabolite score with T2D incidence (n = 1478) and other health endpoints. RESULTS The best-performing score was for red meat, comprising 139 metabolites which accounted for 17% of the explained variance of red meat consumption in the validation set. In the intervention, 11 top-ranked metabolites in the red meat metabolite score increased significantly after red meat consumption. In the EPIC-Norfolk study, the red meat metabolite score was associated with T2D incidence (adjusted HR per SD: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.24). CONCLUSIONS The red meat metabolite score derived and validated in this study contains metabolites directly derived from meat consumption and is associated with T2D risk. These findings suggest the potential for objective assessment of dietary components and their application for understanding diet-disease associations.The trial in Lyon, France, was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03354130.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nowadays,the mechanical ventilation (MV) aims to rest the respiratory muscles while providing adequate gas exchange, and it has been a part of basic life support during general anesthesia as well as in critically ill patients with and without respiratory failure. However, MV itself has the potential to cause or worsen lung injury, which is also known as ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Thus, the early diagnosis of VILI is of great importance for the prevention and treatment of VILI. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the metabolomes in the lung and plasma of mice receiving mechanical ventilation (MV). METHODS Healthy mice were randomly assigned into control group; (2) high volume tidal (HV) group (30 ml/kg); (3) low volume tidal (LV) group (6 ml/kg). After ventilation for 4 h, mice were sacrificed and the lung tissue and plasma were collected. The lung and plasma were processed for the metabolomics analysis. We also performed histopathological examination on the lung tissue. RESULTS We detected moderate inflammatory damage with alveolar septal thickening in the HV group compared with the normal and LV groups.The metabolomics analysis results showed MV altered the metabolism which was characterized by the dysregulation of γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) system and urea cycle (desregulations in plasma and lung guanidinosuccinic acid, argininosuccinic acid, succinic acid semialdehyde and lung GABA ), Disturbance of citric acid cycle (CAC) (increased plasma glutamine and lung phosphoenol pyruvate) and redox imbalance (desregulations in plasma and/or lung ascorbic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, uric acid, oleic acid, stearidonic acid, palmitoleic acid and docosahexaenoic acid). Moreover, the lung and plasma metabolomes were also significantly different between LV and HV groups. CONCLUSIONS Some lung and plasma metabolites related to the GABA system and urea cycle, citric acid cycle and redox balance were significantly altered, and they may be employed for the evaluation of VILI and serve as targets in the treatment of VILI.

Systemic long-term metabolic effects of acute non-severe paediatric burn injury. Sci Rep 2022; 12:13043.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence supports the concept of a systemic response to non-severe thermal trauma. This provokes an immunosuppressed state that predisposes paediatric patients to poor recovery and increased risk of secondary morbidity. In this study, to understand the long-term systemic effects of non-severe burns in children, targeted mass spectrometry assays for biogenic amines and tryptophan metabolites were performed on plasma collected from child burn patients at least three years post injury and compared to age and sex matched non-burn (healthy) controls. A panel of 12 metabolites, including urea cycle intermediates, aromatic amino acids and quinolinic acid were present in significantly higher concentrations in children with previous burn injury. Correlation analysis of metabolite levels to previously measured cytokine levels indicated the presence of multiple cytokine-metabolite associations in the burn injury participants that were absent from the healthy controls. These data suggest that there is a sustained immunometabolic imprint of non-severe burn trauma, potentially linked to long-term immune changes that may contribute to the poor long-term health outcomes observed in children after burn injury.

[PMID: 35897987 PMCID: PMC9332172 DOI: 10.3390/s22155480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI has the advantage of allowing the study of glycolytic flow in vivo or in vitro dynamically in real-time. The apparent exchange rate constant of a metabolite dynamic signal reflects the metabolite changes of a disease. Downstream metabolites can have a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), causing apparent exchange rate constant inconsistencies. Thus, we developed a method that estimates a more accurate metabolite signal. This method utilizes a kinetic model and background noise to estimate metabolite signals. Simulations and in vitro studies with photon-irradiated and control groups were used to evaluate the procedure. Simulated and in vitro exchange rate constants estimated using our method were compared with the raw signal values. In vitro data were also compared to the Area-Under-Curve (AUC) of the cell medium in 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). In the simulations and in vitro experiments, our technique minimized metabolite signal fluctuations and maintained reliable apparent exchange rate constants. In addition, the apparent exchange rate constants of the metabolites showed differences between the irradiation and control groups after using our method. Comparing the in vitro results obtained using our method and NMR, both solutions showed consistency when uncertainty was considered, demonstrating that our method can accurately measure metabolite signals and show how glycolytic flow changes. The method enhanced the signals of the metabolites and clarified the metabolic phenotyping of tumor cells, which could benefit personalized health care and patient stratification in the future.

Advanced Microsamples: Current Applications and Considerations for Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolic Phenotyping Pipelines. SEPARATIONS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/separations9070175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Microsamples are collections usually less than 50 µL, although all devices that we have captured as part of this review do not fit within this definition (as some can perform collections of up to 600 µL); however, they are considered microsamples that can be self-administered. These microsamples have been introduced in pre-clinical, clinical, and research settings to overcome obstacles in sampling via traditional venepuncture. However, venepuncture remains the sampling gold standard for the metabolic phenotyping of blood. This presents several challenges in metabolic phenotyping workflows: accessibility for individuals in rural and remote areas (due to the need for trained personnel), the unamenable nature to frequent sampling protocols in longitudinal research (for its invasive nature), and sample collection difficulty in the young and elderly. Furthermore, venous sample stability may be compromised when the temperate conditions necessary for cold-chain transport are beyond control. Alternatively, research utilising microsamples extends phenotyping possibilities to inborn errors of metabolism, therapeutic drug monitoring, nutrition, as well as sport and anti-doping. Although the application of microsamples in metabolic phenotyping exists, it is still in its infancy, with whole blood being overwhelmingly the primary biofluid collected through the collection method of dried blood spots. Research into the metabolic phenotyping of microsamples is limited; however, with advances in commercially available microsampling devices, common barriers such as volumetric inaccuracies and the ‘haematocrit effect’ in dried blood spot microsampling can be overcome. In this review, we provide an overview of the common uses and workflows for microsampling in metabolic phenotyping research. We discuss the advancements in technologies, highlighting key considerations and remaining knowledge gaps for the employment of microsamples in metabolic phenotyping research. This review supports the translation of research from the ‘bench to the community’.

Optimized Systematic Review Tool: Application to Candidate Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2022; 31:1261-1274.

Abstract
This review aims to develop an appropriate review tool for systematically collating metabolites that are dysregulated in disease and applies the method to identify novel diagnostic biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Studies that analyzed metabolites in blood or urine samples where HCC was compared with comparison groups (healthy, precirrhotic liver disease, cirrhosis) were eligible. Tumor tissue was included to help differentiate primary and secondary biomarkers. Searches were conducted on Medline and EMBASE. A bespoke "risk of bias" tool for metabolomic studies was developed adjusting for analytic quality. Discriminant metabolites for each sample type were ranked using a weighted score accounting for the direction and extent of change and the risk of bias of the reporting publication. A total of 84 eligible studies were included in the review (54 blood, 9 urine, and 15 tissue), with six studying multiple sample types. High-ranking metabolites, based on their weighted score, comprised energy metabolites, bile acids, acylcarnitines, and lysophosphocholines. This new review tool addresses an unmet need for incorporating quality of study design and analysis to overcome the gaps in standardization of reporting of metabolomic data. Validation studies, standardized study designs, and publications meeting minimal reporting standards are crucial for advancing the field beyond exploratory studies.
